Past participants of the Associated Colleges of the South Summer Teaching and Learning Workshop were surveyed to determine long-term impact of this type of professional development experience. Results indicate a large majority of participants across rank and academic discipline continued to view the workshop as effective and valued feedback from…

This paper details a small-scale, research study into lecturers' perceived impact of microteaching within a postgraduate certificate in teaching in higher education in Ireland. Participants engage on the programme for a range of reasons: to broaden expertise and knowledge beyond the disciplinary boundaries within which they primarily operate; to…

Critical reflection is defined as an educational imagination that allows candidates to look at themselves and their situations with new eyes, and in the process, become conscious of the multiple ways they can interpret, critique, challenge, confront, and reconstruct teaching. This study examines the effectiveness of using explicit instruction in…

This study of action research, authored by three colleagues teaching the same teacher-education methods course but from different content areas, involves teacher-candidates' use of self-recorded limited-access YouTube videos to make their microteachings accessible to the authors, each of whom was teaching candidates of her or his content expertise…

Research and practice going back to the 1960s support the use of videotaping to facilitate preservice teachers' development of reflective teaching skills. Emerging research suggests that additional video-based activities, including editing video vignettes of teaching, can deepen preservice teachers' reflection. This action research study describes…

This article calls for renewed emphasis on the use of on-campus microteaching to facilitate simultaneously preservice teachers' performance of effective teaching skills and their capability to reflect meaningfully on their emergent teaching actions. In making a case for greater focus on the implementation of microteaching in preservice teacher…

This 66-item bibliography on microteaching and the technical skills of teaching includes published and mimeographed materials, doctoral dissertations, and three films developed at the Stanford School of Education and Center for Research and Development in Teaching from 1963 through May 1969. Technical skills are defined as covering particular…

The effectiveness of individually prescribed microteaching training modules in the acquisition of selected teaching behaviors is being studied in two different contexts: during the preinternship year in the Master of Arts in Teaching Program, Johns Hopkins University, and during student teaching in Teacher Education Centers, University of…

This paper, originally presented with a film introduction to the minicourse model, overviews the development of a series of microteaching courses designed to train teachers the specific teaching skills necessary to function effectively in the teaching-learning situation. Advantages of the instructional sequence are noted: focus on specific…

This study demonstrates how the use of microteaching techniques allows for the collection of a wealth of comparable data about supervisory behavior in a relatively short time and under well-controlled conditions. This technique, combined with qualitative analysis of the data, investigated the individual's dominant and persuasive patterns of…
